This Privacy Policy explains how Australia Online Casino ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, discloses and safeguards information when you visit https://australia-onlinecasino.org. We comply with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
1. Information We Collect
We collect two categories of information:
- Information you provide directly — name, email address and message content if you contact us via the form at /contact-us/ or by email to support@australia-onlinecasino.org.
- Information collected automatically — IP address, browser type, device information, referring URL, pages visited, time spent on each page, and similar usage data collected via cookies and analytics tools.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 18. This site is intended exclusively for adults of legal Australian gambling age.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To operate, maintain and improve https://australia-onlinecasino.org
- To respond to enquiries received via the contact form or email
- To analyse site usage and improve content quality
- To prevent fraud, abuse and unauthorised access
- To comply with applicable Australian law, including the Privacy Act 1988 and the Spam Act 2003
Australia Online Casino is an independent casino review and comparison website. We do not operate any gambling service and we do not process bets, wagers or payments.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies (web beacons, local storage) to operate the site, measure traffic and improve user experience. For full details on the cookies we use, the categories they fall into and how to disable them, see our Cookie Policy.
4. Disclosure to Third Parties
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We may share limited information with:
- Service providers — analytics platforms (e.g. Google Analytics), hosting providers, and similar processors who handle data on our behalf under written confidentiality terms.
- Affiliate partners — when you click an outbound link to a casino operator, that operator may set its own cookies and receive standard referral data (e.g. campaign ID, click ID). The operator is responsible for its own privacy practices once you reach its site.
- Law enforcement and regulators — where required by Australian law, court order or to protect our legal rights.
5. Cross-Border Disclosure
Some of our service providers may be located outside Australia (for example, in the United States or European Union). Where personal information is disclosed overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure the overseas recipient handles the information consistently with the APPs.
6. Your Rights Under the Privacy Act 1988
You have the following rights regarding the personal information we hold about you:
- Access — request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Correction — request that we correct inaccurate, incomplete or outdated information.
- Deletion — request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal record-keeping obligations.
- Complaint — lodge a complaint about how we handle personal information.
To exercise these rights, email support@australia-onlinecasino.org. We will respond within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this policy, or as required by law. Server logs and analytics data are typically retained for 26 months. Email correspondence is retained for two years after the last contact.
8. Security
We use industry-standard security measures including 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit, access controls, and regular review of our security practices. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be highlighted on the home page for at least 14 days.
